Help Desk (for technology support)

The university provides a 24x7 technology help desk service for all technology-related problems. The ITS Help Desk management and staff are the first level of technical support and have an online technical "knowledge base" to assist in troubleshooting technology problems. Depending upon the complexity of the problem, issues may be resolved at the ITS Help Desk or through referrals to technology specialists.
